Repointing Services
Crumbling mortar is the silent cause of damp, frost damage and structural decay. Our Audenshaw-based masonry team rakes out degraded pointing and re-points chimneys, ridges and brickwork with durable weather-resistant mortar built for the North West.
Why Repointing Protects Your Property
Mortar joints are the first line of defence against rain, wind and frost. Over decades they erode, crack and crumble — opening gaps that let water soak into brickwork, freeze, and blow the brick face off in winter.
We never "smear" over old mortar. Our team rakes joints out to the correct depth, cleans the cavity, and repoints with a matched, frost-resistant mix tooled to a weathered finish that sheds rain and lasts decades.
Our Repointing Standard
Joint Rake-Out
Degraded mortar raked out to a minimum 15-20mm depth without damaging brick arrises.
Cavity Clean & Wet
Joints vacuumed clean and dampened to ensure a strong mortar bond.
Matched Mortar Mix
Lime or cement-lime mix colour-matched to your property and frost-resistant graded.
Tooled Weathered Finish
Joints ironed to a weather-struck profile that sheds rain and resists erosion.
Face Clean & Cure
Brick faces sponged clean and mortar allowed to cure slowly for maximum strength.
